Usain Bolt's performances on the track have turned him into one of the greatest sportsmen of all time, and on Saturday night the Jamaican further enhanced his reputation with another dazzling display.

But it wasn't for his run in the final leg of the men's 4x100m relay final which secured a gold medal for him and Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games.

It was for his performance before the race actually took place that entertained the spectators at a wet Hampden Park as the six-time Olympic champion danced to the crowd's rendition of the Proclaimers hit I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).

Bolt has had quite a debut at the Commonwealth Games. He has been embroiled in an ongoing row with The Times after the newspaper claimed he had described the Games as "s**t", while he mocked BBC presenter Gabby Logan after he claimed he heard her say "they are enjoying the Games without [Yohan] Blake and Bolt."

So a bit of dancing isn't a bad way to end your first time at the Games, is it Usain?
